Hi Jonathan,
Thank you very much for the helpful info. This fixed our problem with
ligatures. All our formatting seems to be working, too.
However there are some problems if we insert "\\hspace{0pt}" anywhere in
the document. In the worst case, the entire PDF conversion crashes, or
in some situations, the ligatures are broken, and character spacing is
off. We insert "\\hspace{0pt}" in combination with "\\nolinebreak[4]" in
some places to coax Latex to break lines where we want them to break
around some emdashes and other places. This is not a show stopper. We
can work around it. We were just wondering if you may have an obvious
solution to this.
I'm afraid I don't have any ideas about this. I'd normally expect
inserting \hspace{0pt} to interrupt ligatures, but it shouldn't cause
the job to fail altogether! That sounds like a bug.
If you can provide a test document where it causes a crash, we may be
able to investigate further.
Thanks,
JK
